  • Are the xxxs static obfuscated strings, or are they different in every instance you wish to alter? Commented May 9, 2017 at 16:54
  • thats correct. xxx is always static. Commented May 9, 2017 at 17:00
  • in regex (used by sed) * means any 0 or more of previous atom (character or bracketed thing). You are mixing it up with globs. Just replacing your * with .* should do it. ( . means any character [.] or \. means . ). Commented May 9, 2017 at 18:07
